Merry and Bright Lantern

 

Challenge #153 at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge and this is my DT card.  I was cleaning up some Christmas left over boxes and found a panel I'd stamped ages ago with stamps from the Waltzing Mouse Stamps Bright Season set.  What a find, and there was a matching envelope made up stamps from the with the Little Lanterns set - I'd even added glossy accents to the red candles!  I reckon I must have stamped this prior to November 2016 - that was the last time I made up a card with this set and in those days I would usually make up multiple panels when I had a stamp set out and inked up.  Anyway, high time I used it!

So I cut a few lanterns from the matching die set, stacked them up and placed them over the candle and flame.  I added a large poinsettia (Sizzix Holiday Sketch) to the top and a simple "Merry & Bright" sentiment (Uniko Simply Said Blocks:Christmas) underneath.
